Tower Hill School is a private, coeducational college preparatory school serving students from preschool through 12th grade in Wilmington, Delaware. Founded in 1919, the school has operated for more than a century and today enrols approximately 874 students drawn from 48 cities and towns across four states. It has been ranked the best private K-12 school in Delaware by Niche and sits among the top 50 private day schools nationwide.
The school's programme is built around a comprehensive PK-12 college preparatory curriculum that combines academic work with character development and community engagement. Instruction is delivered in small settings: the student-to-faculty ratio stands at 8:1 and the average class size at 15 students. The stated aim is multifaceted achievement across all areas of student life, supported by personalised attention and close mentorship between faculty and students.
Forty per cent of students identify as people of colour, and the school describes an institutional commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Its motto, Multa Bene Facta - "Many Things Done Well" - dates from its founding in 1919 as a model private school for Wilmington and continues to frame its expectations for both students and staff.
